Which statement is true about days?

Which statement is true about days?

• A. The starting day is not counted
• B. The ending day is always counted
• C. Weekends counted
• D. Bank holidays counted

Answer: (A)

In calculating time limits for legal steps, you start counting from the day after the triggering event, so the starting day is not counted. You then count the prescribed number of days, and the last day is included only if it falls on a day when action is allowed; if the final day would be a weekend or a bank holiday, the deadline typically moves to the next working day. This is why the statement about the starting day not being counted is the true one. The other statements aren’t universally correct: the ending day isn’t guaranteed to be counted in every situation, and weekends or bank holidays aren’t necessarily counted when you’re computing standard deadlines.
